Class Feedback 9/18 & Electronics Intensive Pt I

During the last week's class, we had an origami workshop with David Kangel and its digital reflection on Grasshopper. Maybe because I have never been interested in origami before, I had a hard time engaging in with the concept but knowing that mathematics is behind conceivable beauty, is eye-opening. I had read a book about this, called "A Beautiful Question" by Nobel-laureate physicist Frank Wilczek, and the topic has been haunting me ever since. Thinking of precision and poetry, mind and body, mathematics and aesthetics, not in a sense of dichotomy, but as an asymptotic cyclicality (just made that up) is the type of thinking method we need. This is after all, the power of diversity.

I will talk about Paul's Electronics Intensive workshop on this post as well. WHAT A FANTASTIC WORKSHOP! (this is for Paul if he's reading) I think he has a very different yet effective teaching style, combining concepts of electricity with philology so we literally know what comes from where. It's very helpful. Electronics, learning to make connections (in the broadest sense) was something I longed to learn for a long time, so I'm very happy that I went.

Thinking about how to utilize this knowledge in our project, in every way.
